Well, we had our mediation on April 10th, it took 3 hours and it was done. I agreed with most everything, our assets were split at 60/40 for her. However I don't pay any alimony.
My wife had legal representation, but I did not. The asset split was what her attorney asked for, yet when it was over she said that I had snaked her and she got screwed. She can't believe that she only has her 80K a year job while my income is over 4 times that.
Then we went to lunch together. She got mad again about what she just agreed to and stormed out of the restaurant.
Does my wife know what she is doing? At times I am really worry about her. But it is clear she wants to do this.
How do I approach this going forward. My W leaves in two weeks for TX and starts her new job there. Do I go dark? Or do I try and maintain a friendship with her?
Is this when I should move on with my life and assume she isn't coming back. Honestly, I don't think we can have a relationship again unless she realizes she needs help or needs to change as well. Even with all the mistakes I've made it isn't 100% my fault and she fails to see that right now. I'm not sure it is possible to give her the amount of attention she feels she needs.
She still texts me and asks if I want to go to lunch.
Just prior to the divorce I did say how I felt. Sandi2, I used your comment when she said I better give her what she wants or I would never see her again. I said that was coercion and why would I want to see her again if she felt that way. I called her on the double standard as well. I had had enough.
But it is still over. Obviously I didn't DB well enough. Just not sure how to play it from here.
Thanks Sandi2 for asking. I was fairly busy getting ready for the mediation. I was doing my own research on some legal matters.
